The main issue in 1888 between the
two great parties will be the tariff or
unjust taxation. The conventions held
this year show conclusively what we
may expect next. In every instance,
the Republicans are in favor of the
present high taft; while, on the other
hand, the Democrats are calling upon
congress for the immediate revision of
the tariff laws to a revenue basis; they
favor the retention of the internal tax
on whiskey and tobacco, and they pro-
test against any proposition for its re-
duction, made with the design of con-
tinuing the existing high tariff on the
necessariss of life. The Iowa Demo
Gratis were the last to speak on this
question. Their unqualified declaration
for revenue reduction in the right direc-
ton indicates their faith in the sound
ness of a position which, with marked
effect at the polls, they have defended
through many political campaigns.
They may not achieve but they deserve
success. Possessing convictions upon
questions of moment, they have the
manliness to announce and to stand
by them.

The war-tariff-forever Republican
organs at the East do not find their
blind antagonism to tax reduction sus-
tanned by their party brethren at the
West. The Chicago Tribune, an able
Republican journal, approves and
praises the Presidents Message. 1t
declares that it ''rises above party lines
and points common basis of patriotic
craftsmanship on which Republicans
and Democrats are bound by every con-
sideration of public welfare and of
political expediency to stand together"
If the Republican party resists tariff
reduction, says the Tribune, it is liable
to be overwhelmed" The Presidents
Message bids fair to divide the Repub-

1t must be admitted that President
Cleveland has shown himself capable
in dealing with the great questions,
and on the tariff his instincts are thor
oughly sound and Democratic. 1t is
safer to trust his sense and courage
than trust some men who rattle round
as professional reformers, and who
know all about it and are going to do
wonderful things-until the time for
fighting comes. Always right at heart,
Mr.. Cleveland has been hard student
of the tariff question the last two years
and understands it. He sees, as truly
as Frank Hurd himself, the iniquities
bound up in it. He knows, as well as
Carlisle and Mills, that it must be dis
posed of Immediately. And he is no
more afraid of it than he was of the
five-cent elevator bill or the dependent
pension bill.

country's prosperity during the past

and ruin with which those same papers
surfeited their readers during the last
Presidential campaign. Grover Cleve

Glass Rods Less Than One-third the Thick.
ness Of . Spiders Web.
By the method adopted by Mr.. G. v. Boys,
the British physicist, glass rods are quickly
drawn into very fine fbres by straw arrows
shot from a cross-bow. One end of the rod
is attached to the arrow and the other Is held
in the fingers, the required Temperature
being given the centre of the rod before the
bow Is released. Glass is thus extended into
fibres less than one ten-thousandth of an
inch in diameter; and quartz into threads
below one hundred-thousandth of an inch
in thickness, which is less than one-third a.
thick as the spiders web. and only one
twentieth as thick as the silk-worm's fibre.
The process is also quite successful with
augite, feldspar and other minerals, garnet
yielding threads of most beautiful colon
when treated at low temperature. At the
reading of his recent most interesting paper
concerning these fine fibres Mr. Boys exhib-
tied to the London Physical Society an an
nealed glass spiral capable of quite accurately
weighing the millionth of grain.-E5
